FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to new 2-amino-7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one compounds, their stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and prodrugs thereof; compositions of the new compounds, either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; and uses of the new compounds and compositions, either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, in the prophylaxis or treatment of cellular proliferative, viral, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and central nervous system diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Heat shock or stress dramatically increases cellular production of several classes of highly conserved chaperone proteins, commonly known as heat-shock proteins (HSPs). These chaperones, including the members of the HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 families, are ATP-dependent molecules that facilitate/ensure proper client protein (e.g. protein that requires interaction with the chaperones for its activity and stability) folding, prevent non-specific aggregations, and maintain active protein conformations.

The HSP90 family, comprised of HSP90α and β, Grp94 and TRAP-1, represents one of the most abundant cellular proteins, accounting for 1-2% of total protein in a mammalian cell under normal conditions. HSP90 is unique among cellular chaperones in that it is not required for general co-translational protein folding but is instead dedicated to a unique set of cellular proteins, many of which are key signaling molecules critically involved in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. So far over 100 proteins have been documented to associate with HSP90 and this list of client proteins is expanding rapidly.

Crystallographic studies have revealed the existence of an unconventional low affinity ATP binding cleft at their N-terminal domain that is well conserved among the four HSP90 family members. ATP binding and hydrolysis play an essential role in the regulation of chaperone functions. The occupancy of the ATP binding site by the ansamycin antibiotics geldanamycin (GM) and herbimycin A (HA), as well as the structurally unrelated fungal metabolite radicicol, inhibits the intrinsic ATPase activity of HSP90 and blocks the ATP/ADP-regulated association-dissociation cycles between HSP90 and client proteins. Consequently, ATP-competitive HSP90 inhibitors induce destabilization and eventual ubiquitin-dependent degradation of client proteins.

HSP90 has generated tremendous interest as a novel anti-cancer target following the realization that many of its clients are bona fide oncoproteins that are frequently overexpressed, mutated, or constitutively active in tumor cells. These include well known and established cancer drug targets such as receptor tyrosine kinases (HER-2/neu, epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR, Met and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor IGF-1R), metastable serine/threonine kinases (Akt and Raf-1), mutated signaling proteins (Flt3, v-Src), chimeric oncoproteins (Bcr-Abl, NPM-ALK), cell-cycle regulators (CDK4 and CDK6), transcription factors (estrogen and androgen receptors ER and AR, hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α) and apoptosis regulators (Survivin and Apaf-1). It is notable that HSP90 client proteins functionally contribute to all of the six “hallmarks of cancer”, which include (with examples of relevant HSP90 client proteins in parenthesis) 1) self-sufficiency in growth signals (ErbB2, Raf-1), 2) insensitivity to growth suppression signals (Plk, Myt1), 3) evasion of apoptosis (Akt, RIP), 4) acquisition of limitless replicative potential (hTERT), 5) sustained angiogenesis (HIF-1α, FAK) and 6) invasion and metastasis (Met). The association with HSP90 ensures that these otherwise unstable oncoproteins function properly in multiple signaling pathways that are essential in maintaining the unregulated growth and the malignant phenotypes of tumors.

Inactivation of HSP90 by an ATP-competitive inhibitor will induce simultaneous depletion of multiple oncoproteins and cause concurrent inhibition of various oncogenic signaling pathways. Therefore, by disrupting the function of a single molecular entity HSP90, an HSP90 inhibitor may uniquely provide a combinatorial attack on multistep oncogenesis and block all of the six hallmarks of cancer. Depending on cellular contexts, HSP90 inhibitors effectively cause growth arrest, differentiation, or apoptosis of tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, HSP90 itself is overexpressed (about 2-20 fold) in multiple tumor types as a result of oncogenic transformation (e.g. accumulation of mutated proteins) and cellular stress (e.g. low pH and lack of nutrients). Overexpression of Hsp90 has been shown to correlate with poor prognosis in breast cancer.

Cancer cells are highly adaptive to hostile microenvironments and are capable of acquiring drug resistance, in part due to their inherent genetic instability and plasticity. Moreover, most forms of cancer are polygenic and harbor multiple signaling aberrations. HSP90 may be a key component of the very machinery that allows certain cancer cells to escape apoptotic death and evoke alternative or overlapping signaling to efficiently develop resistance to a specific drug treatment. Consequently, inhibition of Hsp90 by concurrently disrupting a wide range of oncogenic pathways may prove to be a very effective approach to combat a variety of hard-to-treat tumor.²⁰⁻²³ The cancers include, for example, breast cancer¹, ovarian², prostate³, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)⁴, melanoma⁵, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)⁶, master cell leukemia⁷, testicular tumor⁷, acute myelogenous leukemia^(8,9), gastric tumor¹⁰, lung¹¹, head and neck¹², glioblastoma¹³, colon¹⁴, thyroid¹⁵, stomach, liver, multiple myeloma¹⁶, renal¹⁷, and lymphoma^(18,19).

In addition to cancers, Hsp90 inhibitors may also have the potential to treat non-oncological indications where diseased cells show increased expression and usage of HSP90. These include, but are not limited to viral diseases mediated by hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) as well as autoimmune diseases including those mediated by persistent lymphocyte activation. In all these cases, elevated Hsp90 activity either facilitates virus assembly and replication or is required for aberrant signaling transduction in inappropriately activated lymphocyte. Furthermore, HSP90 inhibitors are also known to induce upregulation of other heat shock proteins (e.g. HSP70), which may offer neuroprotection and cardioprotection against ischemic injury as well as damages caused by protein-aggregation. Therefore, HSP90 inhibitors offer therapeutic potential in treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders and cardiovascular diseases.

Antiestrogens, such as tamoxifen, inhibit breast cancer growth through induction of cell cycle arrest, that requires the action of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip. Recently, it has been shown that activation of the Ras-Raf-MAP Kinase pathway alters the phosphorylation status of p27Kip such that its inhibitory activity in arresting the cell cycle is attenuated, thereby contributing to antiestrogen resistance (Donovan, et al, J. Biol. Chem. 276:40888, 2001). As reported by Donovan et al., inhibition of MAPK signaling through treatment with MEK inhibitor changed the phosphorylation status of p27 in hormone refactory breast cancer cell lines and in so doing restored hormone sensitivity. Accordingly, in one aspect, the compounds of formula (I), (Ia), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (IV), (IVa), (V), or (Va) may be used in the treatment of hormone dependent cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers, to reverse hormone resistance commonly seen in these cancers with conventional anticancer agents.

In hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chromosomal translocation is responsible for the constitutively activated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. The afflicted patients are responsive to gleevec, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as a result of inhibition of Abl kinase activity. However, many patients with advanced stage disease respond to gleevec initially, but then relapse later due to resistance-conferring mutations in the Abl kinase domain. In vitro studies have demonstrated that BCR-Av1 employs the Raf kinase pathway to elicit its effects. In addition, inhibiting more than one kinase in the same pathway provides additional protection against resistance-conferring mutations. Accordingly, in another aspect of the invention, the compounds of formula (I), (Ia), (II), (IIa), (III), (IIIa), (IV), (IVa), (V), or (Va) are used in combination with at least one additional agent, such as gleevec, in the treatment of hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), to reverse or prevent resistance to the at least one additional agent.

Bull, Stephen G. Davies, Santiago Delgado-Ballester, Peter M. Kelly, Luke J. Kotchie, Massimo Gianotti, Mario Laderas and Andrew D. Smith, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 2001, (23), 3112). Removal of the benzyl group is accomplished using 1.1 eq. of cerric ammonium nitrate in acetonitrile and water. Resulting amine 1-F is acylated with methyl malonyl chloride 1-G to give compound 1-H. Cyclization is effected via a Dieckmann condensation upon treatment with base such as sodium ethoxide. The resulting lactam is then treated with acid such as HCl to effect decarboxylation and afford compound 1-I. O-acylation with acetyl chloride and treatment with catalytic dimethylaminopyridine in boiling solvent such as acetonitrile or toluene to effect migration of the acetate group gives compound I-J. Pyrimidine I-K is formed by treating I-J with guanidine/EtOH and dimethylamine. The para-methoxybenzyl group can be removed at this stage (or after the Suzuki coupling) with cerric ammonium nitrate or trifluoroacetic acid. The phenyl ring of 1-K can optionally be functionalized via a Suzuki coupling with a suitable boronic acid to give the biaryl compound I-L. Subsequent deprotection of the para-methoxybenzyl group gives amine I-M.

In another aspect, certain compounds of the invention can be prepared as shown in Scheme 2. Condensation of an appropriate amine such as methyl amine with oxalic acid and a desired aldehyde such as 2-A in refluxing ethanol results in formation of acid 2-B, that is next converted to the corresponding ester 2-C under esterification conditions such as with thionyl chloride in an appropriate alcoholic solvent at 0° C. Formation of acetoamide 2-E is accomplished by treatment of the 2-C ester with diketene 2-D. Subsequent cyclization of 2-D in the presence of base such as sodium methoxide and with microwave heating produces lactam 2-F. Aminopyridine formation is accomplished in two steps, the first being formation of an intermediate enamine by heating the lactam in an ethanolic solution of pyrrolidine under microwave conditions and secondly, addition of guanidine-HCl to this solution followed by additional microwave heating. Isolation of the aminopyrimidine 2-G by reverse phase HPLC followed by coupling with an appropriate arylboronic acid under Suzuki conditions and microwave heating gives the biaryl compound 2-H.

Scheme 3 shows another means for synthesizing certain compounds of the invention. Reductive amination of p-anisole 3-A with (S)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanamine 3-B and sodium borohydride over molecular sieves gives amine 3-C. Subsequent formation of the amine anion such as by reacting 3-C with n-butyl lithium and treatment with the appropriate cinnamate ester 3-D gives the conjugate addition product 3-E. Deprotection with trifluoroacetic acid gives amine 3-F that can be converted to 3-I following the steps shown in the Scheme 2 and described above.

The present invention will be understood more readily by reference to the following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

EXAMPLES

Referring to the examples that follow, compounds of the present invention were synthesized using the methods described herein, or other methods, which are well known in the art.

The compounds and/or intermediates were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Waters Millenium chromatography system with a 2690 Separation Module (Milford, Mass.). The analytical columns were Alltima C-18 reversed phase, 4.6×250 mm from Alltech (Deerfield, Ill.). A gradient elution was used, typically starting with 5% acetonitrile/95% water and progressing to 100% acetonitrile over a period of 40 minutes. All solvents contained 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Compounds were detected by ultraviolet light (UV) absorption at either 220 or 254 nm. HPLC solvents were from Burdick and Jackson (Muskegan, Mich.), or Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, Pa.). In some instances, purity was assessed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using glass or plastic backed silica gel plates, such as, for example, Baker-Flex Silica Gel 1B2-F flexible sheets. TLC results were readily detected visually under ultraviolet light, or by employing well known iodine vapor and other various staining techniques.

Mass spectrometric analysis was performed on one of two LC/MS instruments: a Waters System (Alliance HT HPLC and a Micromass ZQ mass spectrometer; Column: Eclipse XDB-C18, 2.1×50 mm; solvent system: 5-95% (or 35-95%, or 65-95% or 95-95%) acetonitrile in water with 0.05% TFA; flow rate 0.8 mL/min; molecular weight range 500-1500; cone Voltage 20 V; column temperature 40° C.) or a Hewlett Packard System (Series 1100 HPLC; Column: Eclipse XDB-C18, 2.1×50 mm; solvent system: 1-95% acetonitrile in water with 0.05% TFA; flow rate 0.4 mL/min; molecular weight range 150-850; cone Voltage 50 V; column temperature 30° C.). All masses were reported as those of the protonated parent ions.

GCMS analysis is performed on a Hewlett Packard instrument (HP6890 Series gas chromatograph with a Mass Selective Detector 5973; injector volume: 1 μL; initial column temperature: 50° C.; final column temperature: 250° C.; ramp time: 20 minutes; gas flow rate: 1 mL/min; column: 5% phenyl methyl siloxane, Model No. HP 190915-443, dimensions: 30.0 m×25 m×0.25 m).

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis was performed on some of the compounds with a Varian 300 MHz NMR (Palo Alto, Calif.). The spectral reference was either TMS or the known chemical shift of the solvent. Some compound samples were run at elevated temperatures (e.g., 75° C.) to promote increased sample solubility.

The purity of some of the invention compounds is assessed by elemental analysis (Desert Analytics, Tucson, Ariz.)

Melting points are determined on a Laboratory Devices MeI-Temp apparatus (Holliston, Mass.).

Preparative separations were carried out using a Flash 40 chromatography system and KP-Sil, 60A (Biotage, Charlottesville, Va.), or by flash column chromatography using silica gel (230-400 mesh) packing material, or by HPLC using a C-18 reversed phase column. Typical solvents employed for the Flash 40 Biotage system and flash column chromatography were dichloromethane, methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, acetone, aqueous hydroxyamine, and triethyl amine. Typical solvents employed for the reverse phase HPLC were varying concentrations of acetonitrile and water with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid.

The following examples illustrate methods for making representative compounds of the invention.

Example 1 Representative Procedures for Compounds of the Invention Step A: α,β-Unsaturated Ester

n-Butyllithium (84 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of triethylphosphono acetate (88 mmol) in dry THF (176 mL) at −78° C. under N₂. The solution was left to stir for 30 min. keeping inner temperature below −70° C. The phosphonate solution was transferred via cannula to a solution of 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde 1-1 (80 mmol) in THF (160 mL) at −78° C. under N₂. The resulting solution was warmed to room temperature over 2 h. The reaction mixture was quenched by adding aqueous NH₄Cl and then extracted with EtOAc (×3). The organics were combined, washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give pale yellow oil. White crystals formed after cooling in refrigerator. The crystals were filtered and washed with methanol to provide the pure compound 1-2. The mother liquor was concentrated, cooled and filtered. This process was repeated until most of the theoretical yield of E-ethyl 3-(2-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)acrylate was collected as a white crystals.

Step B: Conjugate Addition of Asymmetric Amine to α,β-Unsaturated Ester

To a stirred solution of (S)—N-benzyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanamine 1-3 (58 mmol) in dry THF (116 mL) was added compound 1-2. The reaction was cooled to −78° C., and n-butyl lithium (56.2 mmol) was added dropwise at −78° C. under N₂. After addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 40 min. Then the reaction mixture was partitioned between aqueous NH₄Cl, and EtOAc, extracted with EtOAc (×3), the organics separated, then washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude oil, which was then purified on silica gel column (hexane/EtOAc) to provide compound 1-4.

Step C: CAN (Ceric Ammonium Nitrate) Deprotection

The starting material 1-4 (81.78 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile:water (5:1, 1.6 L). While stirring CAN (490.68 mmol) compound 1-4 was added in three separate portions stirring for 1 h between each addition. The reaction was then allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. Next, the acetonitrile was removed under vacuum, and the remaining aqueous layer was extracted (4×400 mL) with EtOAc. The EtOAc layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to yield the crude product compound 1-5. The crude product was purified using a flash column (5% MeOH in DCM).

Step D: Acylation

To a stirred solution of free amine 1-5 (5.27 mmol) in DCM (26 mL) was added triethyl amine (21.08 mmol) and diketene (6.33 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred until judged complete by LCMS. Then the mixture was partitioned between DCM and aqueous NaHCO₃, extracted with DCM (×3), the organic layers were combined, then washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude oil, which was then purified on silica gel column (hexane/EtOAc) to provide compound 1-6.

Step E: Cyclization

To the reaction vial containing compound 1-6 (1.1 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added 25% NaOMe in MeOH (0.5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated in the microwave at 144° C. for 5 min. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with aqueous ammonium chloride, washed with DCM (×3), then washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude product, piperidine-dione 1-7, which was used directly in the next step.

Step F: Amino-Pyrimidine-Lactam

To the mixture of piperidindione 1-7 (0.915 mmol) and guanidine HCl (4.573 mmol) in ethanol (9 mL) was added pyrrolidine (18.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was treated in microwave (PowerMAX setting) at 160° C. for 10 min. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was extracted with DCM (×3), then washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude product 1-8, which was then purified on silica gel column (EtOAc).

Step G: Suzuki Coupling

To the mixture of amino-pyrimidine-lactam 1-8 (1 eq.), boronic acid or ester (4 eq.) in DMA was added Pd(dppf)₂Cl₂ (0.4 eq.) and 2 M K₂CO₃ (8 eq). The reaction mixture was treated in microwave at 120° C. for 15 min. After cooling down to room temperature the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (×3), washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude product, which was then purified reverse-phase prep HPLC to give the pure HSP90 inhibitor.

Example 2 Synthesis of Representative N-Alkylated Compounds of the Invention Step A: Reductive Amination

To a stirred solution of free amine 1-5 (1 eq.), aldehyde 2-1 (1 eq.) in DCM was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.1 eq.) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature until judged complete by LCMS. Then the mixture was partitioned between DCM and aqueous NaHCO₃, extracted with DCM (×3) and the organics combined, then washed with H₂O (×3), sat. brine (×3), then dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give crude product, compound 2-2, which was used directly for the next reaction.

Steps B-E: Acylation, Cyclization, Amino-Pyrimidine-Lactam Formation, Suzuki Coupling

Step B to Step E were the same as Step E to Step G in Example 1.

Step F: Deprotection

To the solution of Boc-protected N-alkylated lactam in DCM was treated with 50% TFA. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. After completion, the reaction mixture was concentrated and purified on reverse phase prep HPLC to give the pure compound.

Other alkylated amine compounds of the invention were prepared in a similar manner.

Example 3

A mixture of sodium methoxide (25% by wt in methanol, 0.193 mol), methyl acetate (0.0644 mole) and 100 mL anhydrous methanol was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for one hour. Then, neat amide 1-6 (24.1 g, 0.0644 mol) was added. The reaction was refluxed under nitrogen for one hour and then solvent were distilled out gradually until the internal temperature reached 85° C. The reaction was monitored with HPLC until 1-6 was completely consumed. Reaction was cooled to room temperature and remaining solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 100 mL water and then cooled to 5° C. in an ice/water bath. To this solution was then added 1N HCl until pH=1, during which the internal temperature was maintained below 10° C. The mixture was stirred until a smooth suspension formed and then was filtered. The collected solids were washed with water (100 mL×3) and air-dried overnight to give 20.7 g of lactam 1-7 as a slightly yellowish solid with a yield of 98.1% and purity of 98.3% (HPLC area ratio).

Example 4

Step 1:

A 500 mL round-bottom flask was charged with dry THF (50 mL), titanium ethoxide (41 mL), (S)-(−)-tert-butanesulfinamide (Advanced Asymmetrics, 12.0 g, 99.1 mmol, 1.1 equiv), and 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde 4.1 (Matrix Scientific, cat. #011279, 18.2 g, 90.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred under N₂ at rt for 4 h. Upon reaction completion as monitored by LCMS, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (360 mL), and a mixture of brine (200 mL) with celite was added with vigorous stirring. The resulting emulsion was filtered through a pad of celite and washed with EtOAc (200 mL). The filtrate was transferred to a separatory funnel, and the aqueous layer removed. The organics were washed with brine (200 mL), then dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4.2 as a yellowish oil that may solidify upon standing (26.5 g, 86.3 mmol, 96%). ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CD₃Cl) δ 8.86 (s, 1H), 8.03 (m, 1H), 7.35 (m, 1H), 7.11 (m, 1H), 1.11 (s, 9H) LCMS m/z 307.9 (MH⁺), t_(R)=3.22 min.

Step 2:

A three-necked 100 mL round-bottom flask, reflux condenser, and addition funnel were oven-dried overnight. Upon removal from the oven, they were assembled and put under positive N₂ pressure and cooled to room temperature. The flask was charged with Zn dust (21.3 g, 326.0 mmol, 15.0 equiv), CuCl (32.6 g, 32.6.mmol, 1.5 equiv), and dry THF (60 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature (bath temperature approximately 90° C.) and stirred vigorously with an overhead stirrer for 30 min. The reaction was removed from the oil bath (maintaining vigorous stirring) and the addition funnel was then charged with ethylbromoacetate (3.6 mL, 32.6 mmol, 1.5 equiv) and dry THF (30 mL). Addition of the ethylbromoacetate should be done at a rate to maintain gentle refluxing of the reaction mixture. Once addition is complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 20 min, then heated to 50° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C., and the addition funnel charged with 4.2 (6.60 g, 21.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and dry THF (20 mL). This solution was then added dropwise to the reaction mixture, which was stirred an additional 4 hours at 0° C. Once the reaction has gone to completion as judged by LCMS, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite, washing the Zn and the filter pad with Et₂O (2×100 mL). The filtrate was washed with 0.25 M citric acid (200 mL), sat. NaHCO_(3(aq)) (2×200 mL), dried (Na₂SO₄), and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4.3 (7.30 g, 18.4 mmol, 86%) as a clear oil. ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CD₃Cl) δ 7.39 (m, 1H), 7.28 (m, 1H), 7.01 (m, 1H), 5.14 (m, 1H), 4.92 (d, J=5.4, 2H), 4.1 (m, 2H), 2.90 (ddd, J₁=, J₂=, J₃=, 2H), 1.22 (m, 3H, 9H). LCMS m/z 396.0 (MH⁺), t_(R)=2.96 min. HPLC (frac_(—)10 min_(—)2070% B), t_(R)=4.108 (major diastereomer), t_(R)=3.962 (Claisen condensation byproduct) t_(R)=3.888 (minor diastereomer), 95.5:2.1:2.1. de=96%.

Step 3:

A 500 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 4.3 (7.30 g, 18.4 mmol, 1.0 equiv), Et₂O (37 mL), EtOH (1.2 mL, 1.1 equiv) and 4M HCl in Et₂O (37 mL, 2.0 equiv). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The resulting suspension was filtered and the solids triturated with Et₂O (3×40 mL) and hexanes (2×40 mL). The solid was dried under vacuum to afford 4.4 as a white solid (5.23 g, 15.2 mmol, 83%). ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CD₃OD) δ 7.61 (m, 2H), 7.33 (m, 1H), 5.18 (m, 1H), 4.85 (bs, 3H), 4.13 (q, J=7.2, 2H), 3.15 (ddd, 2H), 1.22 (t, J=7.5, 3H) LCMS m/z 292.0 (MH⁺), t_(R)=1.97 min. To free base the HCL salt, 4.4 (50 mg) was dissolved in EtOAc (20 mL) and washed with 10% Na₂CO₃ (3×20 mL). The organics were dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the free base. A racemic mixture of the final β-amino ester product was prepared and analyzed by chiral HPLC to confirm separation of the enantiomers (Chiralpak AD column, 1 mL/min, S, t_(R)=5.84; R, t_(R)=7.47 min)

Example 5

Step 1:

A 250 mL round-bottom flask was charged with dry THF (54 mL), titanium ethoxide (18.25 g, 3 equiv), (S)-(−)-tert-butanesulfinamide (4.85 g, 1.5 equiv), and 5-bromothiazole-4-carbaldehyde 5.1 (5.12 g, 1.0 equiv). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred under N₂ at rt. Upon reaction completion as monitored by LCMS, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (360 mL), and a mixture of brine (200 mL) with celite was added with vigorous stirring. The resulting emulsion was filtered through a pad of celite and washed with EtOAc (200 mL). The filtrate was transferred to a separatory funnel, and the aqueous layer removed. The organics were washed with brine (200 mL), then dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated in vacuo to afford 5.2 as a yellowish oil (7.9 g, 100%). ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CD₃Cl) δ 8.88 (s, 1H), 8.72 (s, 1H), 1.21 (s, 9H) LCMS m/z 296.9 (MH⁺), t_(R)=2.35 min.

Step 2:

A three-necked 100 mL round-bottom flask, reflux condenser, and addition funnel were oven-dried overnight. Upon removal from the oven, they were assembled and put under positive N₂ pressure and cooled to room temperature. The flask was charged with Zn dust (25.4 g, 400.0 mmol, 15.0 equiv), CuCl (3.96 g, 40.mmol, 1.5 equiv), and dry THF (80 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature (bath temperature approximately 90° C.) and stirred vigorously with an overhead stirrer for 30 min. The reaction was removed from the oil bath (maintaining vigorous stirring) and the addition funnel was then charged with ethylbromoacetate (6.68 g, 40 mmol, 1.5 equiv) and dry THF (40 mL). Addition of the ethylbromoacetate should be done at a rate to maintain gentle refluxing of the reaction mixture. Once addition is complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 30 min, then heated to 50° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0° C., and the addition funnel charged with 5.2 (26.67 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and dry THF (27 mL). This solution was then added dropwise to the reaction mixture, which was stirred an additional 4 hours at 0° C. Once the reaction has gone to completion as judged by LCMS, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite, washing the Zn and the filter pad with Et₂O (2×100 mL). The filtrate was washed with 0.25 M citric acid (200 mL), sat. NaHCO_(3(aq)) (2×200 mL), dried (Na₂SO₄), and concentrated in vacuo to afford 5.3 (10 g) as a clear oil.

Step 3:

A 500 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 5.3 (10 g, 26.67 mmol, 1.0 equiv), Et₂O (27 mL), EtOH (1.7 mL) and 4M HCl in Et₂O (53 mL, 2.0 equiv). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The resulting suspension was filtered and the solids triturated with Et₂O (3×40 mL) and hexanes (2×40 mL). The solid was dried under vacuum to afford 5.4 as a white solid (6.6 g, 88.7%). LCMS m/z 280.9 (MH⁺), t_(R)=1.63 min.

A microwave vial was charged with (R)-2-amino-7-(2-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-7,8-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one, cesium carbonate (2 eq), copper (I) iodide (10 mol %), 1,10-phenanthroline (20 mol %), and cyclopentanol. The reaction mixture was heated with microwave irradiation to a temperature of 180° C. for 20 min. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was concentrated and purified by reverse phase HPLC to afford (R)-2-amino-7-(2-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-7,8-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (m/z=357 (M+H)).

Example 7

Aminoester hydrochloride 7.1 (prepared according to the general procedure of Example 1) was taken up in methylene chloride and the resulting solution was cooled to 0° C. Triethylamine (3 eq) was added followed by dropwise addition of methyl malonyl chloride (1.3 eq). The reaction was stirred for 2 h the partitioned between water and methylene chloride. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to afford compound 7.2 in 71% yield.

Compound 7.2 was dissolved in methanol to which freshly prepared 4.2M sodium methoxide in methanol was added. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated for 10 min at 140° C. (microwave). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between 1M aqueous hydrochloric acid and methylene chloride. The organic and aqueous layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentration in vacuo afforded compound 7.3 in 93% yield.

Compound 7.3 was taken up in acetonitrile containing 1% water. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated for 10 min at 120° C. (microwave). Concentration in vacuo provided compound 7.4 in a quantitative yield.

Compound 7.4 was taken up in dimethylacetamide dimethyl acetal and heated at 140° C. for 5 min. Cooling to room temperature and concentration in vacuo provided 7.5 as an orange solid, which was immediately taken up in a 5.0 M solution of dimethyl amine in ethanol. Acetyl guanidine (1.5 eq) was added and the resulting mixture was heated at 140° C. for 10 min. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting solid 7.6, used without purification.

Bromide 7.6 was taken up in a 1:1 mixture of dimethoxyethane and 2M aqueous sodium carbonate. Boronic acid 6-methoxy-pyrazin-2-yl boronic acid was added followed by Pd(dppf)Cl₂.CH₂Cl₂. The reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 10 min (microwave). After cooling to room temperature, the layers were separated and the organic layer was concentrated under a stream of nitrogen. Purification by reverse-phase HPLC afforded compound 7.7.

Using the procedure described in Example 10, certain compounds in Tables 1-5 were shown to have HSP90 inhibitory activity at an IC₅₀ of less than 25 μM. Some of the compounds have an IC₅₀ of less than about 10 μM.

Example 10 HSP90 Inhibitor Binding Potency TRF Binding Assay

In this example, the binding potency of HSP90 inhibitors as measured by a TRF binding assay is described.

TRF competition binding assays were performed to determine the binding potency (IC₅₀ values) of HSP90 inhibitors. Purified His-tagged N-terminal ATP binding domain (amino acid residues 9-236) of HSP90α (HSP90α GeneID: 3320; mRNA Sequence NM_(—)005348) was incubated for two hours at room temperature in binding buffer (50 mM HEPES, 6 mM MgCl₂, 20 mM KCl and 0.1% BSA) with biotinylated radicicol and progressively higher concentrations of the competing compounds. A fraction of the mixture was transferred to capture plates (coated with streptavidin) and incubated for one hour at room temperature. After washing with DELFIA wash buffer, europium-labeled anti-his antibody was added and incubated for two hours at room temperature, followed by washing with DELFIA buffer. DELFIA enhancement solution was then added. After gentle shaking for 10 minutes, the plates were read in VICTOR for europium counts:

Note: IC₅₀ values can also be determined using published methods in the following references:

While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
